Amazon has been accused of allowing itself to be used as a platform for Hamas propaganda and fundraising over the sale of a book by terrorist mastermind Yahya Sinwar in which he trumpets his role in the October 7 massacres.
Listed on Amazon since December 2023, Sinwar’s quasi-novel, The Thorn and the Carnation, is also available from the largest book retailer in the US, Barnes and Noble.
The book boasts that Sinwar was behind the October 7 Hamas atrocities, calling him the "orchestrator of Flood of Al-Aqsa".
The Board of Deputies of British Jews has called on Amazon to remove the listing, citing concerns it has been used to “propagandise on behalf of a proscribed terrorist organisation [Hamas] and also to raise money for it”.
